No Talks on Extending Ceasefire Between Iran, U.S.: Senior Source

A senior Iranian source told Reuters that there are currently no discussions between Iran and the United States on extending the ceasefire. From Iran's perspective, the ceasefire has no effective date, so there is nothing to extend. The source also said the U.S. violated the interim agreement within 48 hours and withdrew a few days later. One issue under discussion is a U.S. return to the memorandum of understanding, but no progress has been made.

Oman and Iran Reach Framework to Reopen Strait of Hormuz Temporarily

Two Middle Eastern diplomats familiar with the negotiations say Oman has agreed with Iran on a framework agreement to temporarily reopen the Strait of Hormuz. An Iranian government official said the deal would establish a new shipping route: commercial vessels would enter the Persian Gulf through Iranian-controlled lanes and exit through Omani-controlled lanes. The official added that the agreement does not include transit fees for merchant ships seeking safe passage. The proposal is described as an interim agreement that would lay the groundwork for Washington and Tehran to announce a new ceasefire and restart nuclear talks. According to the Iranian official, the United Nations International Maritime Organization and the United States would take part in the formal announcement. A Gulf state official said the arrangement has been acknowledged by Gulf Cooperation Council member states. Officials have not disclosed when the agreement will be announced. US support for the strait management deal will depend on final details. An American official said Washington supports only a temporary reopening of the strait under the conditions of unimpeded access and no fees.

Draft Strait of Hormuz agreement finalized, awaiting approval from Iran’s supreme leader

Negotiators from Iran and Oman have finalized a draft agreement on the Strait of Hormuz and are now waiting for final approval from Iran’s supreme leader, according to an Associated Press report cited by BlockBeats on Aug. 5. Two Gulf officials told the AP that the draft has already been settled. Earlier in the day, reports said the United States, Iran, and Oman were close to reaching a 60-day interim arrangement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Under the proposed plan, vessels entering the Persian Gulf would travel through shipping lanes in Iranian waters, while ships leaving the strait for the Arabian Sea would pass through lanes in Omani waters. The proposal also says no transit fees or shipping charges would be collected during the initial 60-day period. In addition, the parties agreed to clear naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz area to restore safer shipping conditions and create room for talks on a longer-term passage arrangement.
